Xie Jie frowned when he heard Mo Qiang's words. What did she an by those words? And why was she asking him, what he was doing here? Like she didn't know for what reason he ca to see her.
"You …don't you have to say anything to ?" Xie Jie asked with a trembling voice. His fingers were clenched on his sides as he stared at Mo Qiang. If she was going to insult him then she might as well do it and end his sufferings.
Why was she treating him like such?
Was she taking revenge on him for hiding his condition from her? Was that what she was trying to do?
Mo Qiang however, tilted her head to the right. She blinked her green eyes which were no longer murky but instead shimring eralds. She then said, "I don't think so. I have no idea what you are talking about."
"You—ca to my room and that form," Xie Jie tried his best to say what he wanted to but he couldn't bring himself to.
The Zerg Queen's poison had always been the greatest source of humiliation for him, not to ntion it also made him embarrassed and angry as if he was lacking in so way or another.
Thus, even though he wanted to ask Mo Qiang whether she had read the entire content of the form, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.
Though he didn't say it clearly Mo Qiang should have understood what he was trying to say instead, she smiled at him and answered, "Since you didn't tell anything, how will I know? Is there sothing you want to say to ?"
Ba—dump.
Xie Jie felt his heart skip several beats as he looked at Mo Qiang who was smiling at him.
What did she say?
"Qi Qi—"
"Miss Qiang, the bulbous roots are all planted. What do you want us to do with the cilantro and celery?" Before Xie Jie could finish speaking, one of the workers called Mo Qiang.
His wife turned her face around and said to the woman, "I am coming, just wait two minutes."
She then turned to look at Xie Jie who was breathing heavily. With a smile on her lips, she raised her hand and pressed it on top of his head, "I don't know what you are talking about. It seems like you had a bad dream, why don't you go back ho and eat what I made for you for lunch? I made baked chicken as you asked."
After she said those words, she smiled and dropped her hand an inch. She patted Xie Jie on the cheek before turning around on her feet and then walking back inside the greenhouse.
Xie Jie stayed where he was for two seconds but then he covered his face and ran back ho. "You have to be kidding ."
Thud. Thud. Thud.
"Don't run on the escalator!" Wen Gui shouted after Xie Jie who was running on the escalator and clicked his tongue. "What's going on with this rascal? Why is he in such a hurry now?"
Mo Yan peered out of the backyard as well. She looked at Xie Jie and then turned to look at her husband, "This is the first ti he is running like this, isn't he?"
Usually, Xie Jie was way too stoic and calm, sotis he was so cold that he resembled an old r trapped in the body of a young one.
"It is but we can't let him make a habit out of it," said Wen Gui while watching the r run past the corridor and to his brother's room. "The last thing we need is another hyperactive r in our house. If this goes on then our house will explode…crumble into bits you know?"
"Qi Qi will cry if that happened."
Not only would she cry, she would cry tears of blood.
Wen Gui eyed the door of Xie Li's room suspiciously and muttered, "I hope that it was just a one-ti thing, because—"
KABOOM!
His words were interrupted by a loud bang as he turned to look at the third floor, where Shao Hui's hair was on fire and Yin Fu was apologising for whatever his experint had done.
"You two! How many tis have I said that you shouldn't do sothing so dangerous? Especially you, Ah Fu! You are with a child!" Wen Gui shouted, while Mo Yan stood up and went to get his blood pressure tablets.
She had a feeling that her husband would need them.
"Sorry, father-in-law! Hui Hui, co here I will cut off the part that's burned."
"My hair! My hair!"
"Calm down, you two!" Wen Gui yelled. He was about to help Shao Hui when the fire system of their house got activated and the entire house was doused in water.
"MY HO!!!!!!"
"You machines for destruction, what was I thinking when I let my daughter marry you!"
Inside Xie Li's room,
Xie Li wiped his daughter's body before turning to look at Xie Jie who was still sticking to the door despite being doused by the sudden rain, he was still standing as he was earlier. "Co on, wipe yourself," said Xie Li when he saw that his brother was not moving.
Seriously how could he stay so chill when looking like that?
Water droplets dripped from his hair and clothes and yet Xie Jie did not make a move to change his clothes. However, even after he asked Xie Jie to wipe himself, his brother did not make a move.
"What are you doing?" Xie Li asked as he looked at Xie Jie. He stood up from his chair and then walked over to his little brother before draping the towel over his head. "What has gotten into you?"
Xie Li lowered his head while rubbing Xie Jie's hair and looked at his brother's face.
As soon as he glanced at Xie Jie's face, Xie Li frowned. "Jie Jie?"
"Br—brother, I think …I think I have fallen in love, irrevocably."
